weren’t interested in the ranch and she would be a good one to take over it. She has a good business head because she runs a multimillion corporation.
She is going to be in today around noon on the train from Dallas.
Turk I want you to ride into town and meet her.
It is going to take a little while to get a buggy there to pick her up and I don’t want her to be in town alone. I want you to keep her company till Roy gets there with the buggy.”
“Ok I guess I can get away long enough to ride into town. Why can’t I drive the truck, it would be easier?”
“No Turk I want her to experience the west first hand.”
“Mom you are going to run her off before she gets here.”
“No I wo n’t. When she sees you she will want to stay.”
“Mom, don’t say things like that. How will I know what she looks like?”
“Don’t worry she will be easy to recognize. She will be the prettiest girl at the train station about your age and looks like she doesn’t belong out here.
More than likely she will be dressed in something like they wear in the big city; you know heels and probably a dress or business looking suit.
The last time I saw her she was small so I don’t know how she looks now.”
“Well if she doesn’t look like she belongs here she probably doesn’t. The west is no place for a city girl”
“Well young man you better be respectful to her. She has had a rough time of it and I think it is up to us to show her a little compassion. We have to make her feel like she is with family. I want you to make her feel like she belongs here and Megan can make sure she dresses like one of us.
She doesn’t know anything about the west so we are going to have to see to it she feels welcome so I want both of you to be on your best behavior around her. She has never been around people like us and you know how that can be.”
Megan was excited that finally she would have another young person she could talk to and hang around with. Macy is about twenty-six but Megan didn’t mind.
Megan didn’t have a chance to go into town very often to hang around the friends that she went to school with. She spent most of her time working on the ranch.
Turk got up and went to the stable to saddle his horse. He slid on his tight jeans he always wore and one of his western shirts that he liked to wear.
Before he left he strapped on his sidearm.
In Texas in the summer time they had to be careful of riding up on rattlesnakes so a gun came in handy. His horse was used to Turk firing his gun off of his back but he didn’t like rattle snakes at all. He would bolt at the sight of one.
Everyone that was riding a horse that time a year had a sidearm.
Turk rode out toward town as soon as he got his horse saddled. He knew he would be lucky to get there before the train. If Macy got there before him she would be scared not having anybody to pick her up.
He knew she would be safe but the young men in town like d to check out any new young woman that happened into town. He had been guilty of that himself a few times.
CHAPTER II
MACY ARRIVES IN TOWN
Macy stepped off the train with expectations of the old west that she had read so much about in books. She expected to see cowboys walking up and down the streets or on their horses with guns strapped on their side. Instead she saw cars and trucks going up and down the streets. People were walking around in regular leisure and work clothes.
Macy got her baggage off the ramp and stood looking for her aunt to show up and take her to the ranch.
She was hoping she would be able to recognize her aunt. She hadn’t seen her since she was little even though she talked to her all the time on the phone.
A breeze was blowing out of the west fluffing her light brown hair. Her hair was soft and hung down to her shoulder blades.
Diamonds were hanging from her neck and arms shining like bright
